@Tyranexx Oh, dear... Squi... errr, I mean Tyranexx is using the wrong image uploader again...
All I can see is "Untitled"...

But all kidding aside, it's entirely possible to not let Zelda BotW take over all your time, but it WILL take up a LOT of your time. But what we're basically saying, is that it doesn't matter, because it's so enjoyable to play. It's almost like a virtual vacation:

Just wanna go mountain climbing? You can DO that!
Wanna go hunting? You can DO that!
Wanna go rafting? You can DO that!
Wanna go parasailing? You can DO that!
Wanna go and investigate some deserted ruins? You can DO that!
Wanna go catch and tame some wild horses and take 'em for a ride? You can DO that!
Wanna go fishing? You can DO that!
Wanna do some outdoor cooking? You can DO that!
Wanna finish off some Bokoblins? You can DO that!
Wanna solve some shrine puzzles? You can DO that!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the ULTIMATE staycation!

@ThanosReXXX
But, Kiddie games are my signature game playing...

@Tyranexx And yes, Squirrel Girl is indeed from the Marvel Universe. She actually beat me, errrr.... Thanos, by overrunning him with (an almost unending wave of) squirrels...

Probably caffeinated ones...

@Anti-Matter No worries, my friend. I'm just having a bit of fun with you, because I know you'll fall for it.
A small tip: if I use capital letters, and a lot of exclamation signs, it's just a joke.

However, I really AM a soccer fan, though. I can understand not everyone liking the same sports, but saying another sport is lame, is a bit too much, in my opinion. Perhaps you can simply say that you don't like it instead. In that way, you're still able to express your opinion, but without bashing other people who do like it.

Hopefully this one works.

@ThanosReXXX I'll likely end up balancing BotW with RPGs when I play it. From what I understand - though I've tried to avoid spoilers for the most part - it's not exactly story-heavy compared to most previous installments. Which is fine. Part of the reason why I balance JRPGs and other text-heavy games with other genres is to give my brain a break from words sometimes. XD

I'm still trying to process how an unending wave of squirrels would beat someone like Thanos....Eh, it's the weekend. I'm done processing. 🤪

@Tyranexx Well, sick as I have personally been (for quite a long time, I might add), about such an ignominious defeat of my favorite bad Marvel character, I've always compared it to us "mere" mortals being overrun by ants, bees, or any other creepy-crawlies: as long as more than enough of them are coming from all sides, which would effectively turn into the aforementioned "unending wave", not even a strong human could stop them.

And obviously, Squirrel Girl is not just a zoo keeper with a preference for tree hugging rodents, and the beasties themselves also aren't your bog-standard ones. They are all mind-controlled, or rather: mentally linked on another level, with the girl. As such, they act kind of like a hive mind, and she is the conductor. And seeing as the link is direct, so is the transformation of what she thinks into an action that they perform.

So, end result: Mad Titan suffocating in an enormous, flowing blanket of little fur balls...

As for Zelda: it's basically the same recipe as always, where text is concerned. Some characters/NPC's only have a few lines of text, but others will tell you entire stories, but yeah, on average, it certainly isn't anything remotely close to the more serious, hardcore RPG's.

But it's not less than in any other Zelda game. I think that some people are under the impression that it's less in this installment, simply because of the open world structure. In earlier games, you were always funneled towards the next town, the next character and so on. Now, you can literally spend hours roaming around, having fun, doing all the stuff I mentioned earlier, without ever having to talk to a single character.

@ThanosReXXX - Good luck against Italy then. Pulling for multiple teams has to be stress inducing when it gets this intense. You’re gonna need a staycation in Hyrule!

@Tyranexx P.S.

Yup, picture works now.

@bimmy-lee Haha, maybe so, but I think I'll be alright. Actually, rooting for two teams is easier, because if one loses, I've still got a second one left, so for me, it's win-win, even if they end up against each other in the finale, chances of which will increase enormously after the Dutch beat the Italians tomorrow, and the US beats the English come Tuesday.

And realistically speaking, although both will be tough matches, I think that they can both succeed in doing that, meaning that they'll both be only one more match away from facing each other.

@Tyranexx Yes, that gif is spot on!!

Got Mario Maker 2 today, already finished story mode!

Oh that’s right, there’s a story mode.

I should probably check that out.

I played the first level. Much to my surprise I'm enjoying creating more than I thought I would. I enjoy playing everyones level from NL honestly

Just bought an original Nintendo DS game for the first time in lord knows how many years. When did Black and White 2 come out? I think those were the last DS titles I bought.

Anyway, picked up Chrono Trigger for the DS because of how much I have been enjoying watching Chuggaconroy's LP of it. I almost didn't watch the LP because I kind of figured if I did, I'd end up buying the game, and my backlog doesn't need more competition.

And yet, this weekend alone, I got Mario Maker 2, Super Neptunia RPG, Chrono Trigger and Nekopara Volume 3.

Why am I wasting time talking to you guys?! I need to get back to gaming! lol

@Heavyarms55 I adore Chrono Trigger. Magus’ theme is one of my fav SNES tracks. All the music is great, but that just has something about it.

Got the Kaptain K. Rool Spirit today; that's my first Legend class. Also passed the 500 Spirit milestone today which although to completionists seems laughable is pretty big for me.

@DenDen ???

@ThanosReXXX
Something went wrong with writing I guess lol my Chrono trigger is easly one of the best rpg's ever made, talking about my point of view I like the SNES version more but that could also be nostalgia.
I hope your going to enjoy your playthrough as much as I did years ago!!

Went into the quote lol

@DenDen I was already wondering why you just quoted without adding anything underneath, but I missed the extra bit of text in the quote itself...

You can edit it, by adding more quote ends and beginnings in between, in the exact places where you'd want them:

quote beginning: [ quote ]
quote ending: [ / quote ]
(obviously without all the spaces in between, to make them work)

Well, gotta go now: have to watch the Oranje girls beat the Italians...
